To all whom may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE WV. BLANKEN- HORN, a citizen of the United States, residin at the cityand county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Rolling Cutters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a paper, lining machine.

()ne of the objects of the present invention is to provide a machine for cutting blanks or irregular shapes from sheet material, such as paper,-rubber, and the like, and especially a simple compact machine for cuttin circular paper gaskets or washers, and inserting them into can ends or other receptacles.

Further objects will hereinafter appear.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of-parts as ing drawings in which Figure l is an end view of the machine partly broken away. r Figure 2 is a side'elevation partly in section showing one of the side framesA removed.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of' the can end feeding device. Flgure 4 1s a perspectiveview of a can Referring to the drawings 1n detail, A. indicates a frame in whichis secured a bearingshaft 2 supporting a tubular driving shaft 3., and a rotary die wheel 4.

Mounted in guide ways 5 formed in the frame is a pair of slidable bearing blocks 6, and-journaled in said bearing blocks is a rotary platen member 7 Interposed between the bearing blocks 6 and a pair of plates 8,

is a pair of tension springs 9, one for each. end of the platen, which is provided for the purpose of forcing theplaten with sufficient pressure, against 't at B to sever the stock 10wh ich is between more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanye dies generall indicatedthe platen and the dies as will hereinafter be described. Suitably secured in the face of the wheel 4 are the dies B. These dies" are'each provided with an annular groove for the reception of a knock-out ring 11, and the outer and inner edges such as indicated at 12 and 13 are beveled off to form the cutting edges of the dies.

Extending through-the body of each die is a pair of pins 14, the inner ends of which are secured to the knock-out ring while the free ends are secured to the head or'plate 15 between which and the die are interposed tension springs or coil springs 16 which normally maintain the knock-out rings in the retracted position shown at 17 in Figure 2.

Mounted interior of the annular inner cated at 22" and 23. Each pair of arms is pivotally mounted as at 24 on a pin 25, which in turn is pivotally mounted in a projecting lug formed on the face of the die wheel. The inner end of each arm rests on the outer beveled face of the cutting edge 12, and means have been provided for raising and lowering each set of centering arms with relation to the cut-ting edge 12, as will hereinafter be described. Connecting the inner ends of each set of arms is acoil spring 26 and connecting each set of arms with a depressible plunger 27 is a cross head 28 which projects through slots 29 formed in- {the The present die wheel shown is provided .With four cutting dies such as indicated at on the stationary bearing shaft 2 interior of the die wheel 4 is a cam 30.

This cam is mounted in alignment with heads 31 formedon the plungers, and these will thered eration takes fore be depressed by'the cam in successive order as the die wheel revolves continuously with uniform speed in the direction of arrow a. Each pair of centering arms is in this manner raised or projected with relation to the annular cutting edge 12, the moment a-cooperating plunger 27 engages the cam and, this position is maintained until the plunger moves out of engagement with thecam at the point indicated at 32. The plunger with each pair of connected center- J ing arms,.is here retracted, and the centerin turn is pivotally mounted in the bearing lug, the arms when projected will therefore cause the pin to turn in its bearing and ""the pivotal mounting 24 of each arm will i at the-same time permit the coil spring 26 to pull the arms together until they engage with the inner ends of the cross head 28 which forms a stop to limit this movement. A reverse action takes place when a plunger moves out of engagement with the cam at the point indicatedat 32 as the surrounding coil spring 33 will retract the plunger and connected centering arms, the pin 25 will then turn in opposite direction 1n the'bearing lug and the centering arms will spread as they are forced down over the inclined annular flaring face of the die, finally assuming the spread depressed position shown at- 36. (See Fig. 1.) The die wheel 4 is pro! vided with four spokes such as indicated at .37 and each spoke is provided with a forked lever 38 which is pivotally mounted in the spoke as at 39. The forked end of the lever engages a cooperating plate 15, while the outer. end of each lever is adapted to be raised or lowered during the rotation of the die wheel by a stationary cam 40 as will hereinafter be described.

Formed on the exterior face of the die wheel is a pair of cam tracks 41 and 42. Thesetracks are positioned one on each side of the dies, and are provided for the purpose of supporting the rotary platen 7 during the rotation of the die wheel when a die is in register with the platen. Each cam track is recessed as at 43'at points in alignment with a die, and mounted adjacent said recessed portions in each cam track, is a pair of pivotally mounted adjustable earns 44. Each individual cam is raised or lowered by means of a set screw 45 passing through the rim of the die wheel, and therefore permits each individual 'cam'to be raised or lowered with rela engage the cutting edge of the die with as little shock as possible, and similarly to leave the cutting edge of the die and age the cam track without unnecessarily elevating or disturbing the position of the platen.

J ournaled in a pair of extension arms formed on the main supportin frame A is a pair of feed rollers 46 and 4?. The paper from which the gaskets are cut is delivered from a roller or any other means of suply, as a continuous strip 48 to the feeding r0 ers shown and is fed by said rollers to a point where the paper will assume a position intermediate of or between a set of cutting dies and the rotary platen. The lower feed roller is an .idler and is preferably constructed of rubber while the upper feed roller is con-' tinuously driven from the main driving shaft 3 by means of chain, gears, or any other suitable form of mechanism which ensures a uniform drive between the main feeding roller 46 and the die wheel 4. While the die wheel rotates continuously with a constant speed, it is necessary that the paper be intermittently fed, as considerable waste would otherwise take place. This is accomplished by providing a raised portion 49 on the driving roller, and as this engages the paper and the lower roller, suliicient pressure is brought to bear to feed the paper in a forward direction between the cutting dies and the cooperating platen. The paper strip will however remain stationary the moment the raised portion has been turned sufficiently far to relieve the paper of pressure on the lower roller. This takes place at the time when a die leaves the platen, and the paper will therefore remain stationary during thetime period of rotation, while the succeeding die is moving into place. The raised portion will then engage the lower feeding roller and feed the paper forward with the incoming die. The pressure of the tension springs 9 on the platen 7 is suflicient to sever the inter posed sheet and force it into the annular groove formed for the'reception of the out gasket. It will here remain until the lmockout ring 11 is depressed, as will hereinafter he described, while the central blank formed while the gasket isbeing cut, is automati cally knocked-out by the head 18, the moment the die moves out of engagement with the platen.

Any means not here shown may be provided for removing the center blanks from the machine.

.l'ournaled in a pair of extension arms on the main supporting frame opposite the arms which support the feeding rollers 46 and 47. is a roller 50. This roller is preferably constructed of a soft rubber or fabric, and is provided for the purpose of forcing the cut gasket further into the annular recess,

formed between the cutting edges of the dies, thereby preventing the out gasket from accidentally falling ofi before it is positively knocked out 'by the ring 11. The roller 50 wheel is a curved guide chute 51, to which the can ends such as indicated at 52 are delivered in any suitable manner. One form of mechanism such as shown in Figure 3 has however been successfully employed. This device consists of an angularly disposed chute or hopper 53 to which the can ends are delivered by means of a conveyor belt or other suitable means not here shown. The can ends entering this chute are stacked one on top of the other, and they are discharged one byone into the curved chute 51 at timed intervals to deliver one can end -to each die as they move into register with the chute. The release or removal of each individual can end from the chute or hopper 53 1s accomplished by the following mecha- J ournaled under the basev 54 of the hopper 53 is a pair of sprocket wheels 55 and 56 on which is mounted an endless chain 57..

Suitably secured on' the chain is a plurality of fingers 58 which are so positioned as to project through a slot formed in the base 54 1n this manner engaging the lowermost can end and forcing it in a forward direction to a point where it is delivered to the chute 51. The sprocket wheels 55 and 56 are timed and driven directly from the inain driving shaft 3, and the spacing of the proectmg lugs 58 is such that a can end will be delivered to the chute 51 every time a die has moved into register with the chute, or assumed the position shown at 60 in Figure 2. The operation of the device as a whole will be as follows With power transmitted to the die wheel 4 can readily be seen that the continuous.

rotary movement of this wheel will bring one die after another into engagement with the platen 7. .The' interposed paper sheet 10 delivered thereto by the feeding rollers 46 and 47 is in this manner severed, or a gasket such as shown in'Figure 5' formed. This gasket is forced intot-the annular groove of the die just above the knock-out ring 11, and is forced further into said annu-.

lar groove when the die moves into engagement with the roller 50as previously described. The cycle of operation of an individual die will be as follows After the paper has been cut and force into the annular groove by the platen 7 and the roller 50, it will be seen that the die will move into register with the chute 51. The lowermost pair of centering arms 23 will,

end to any desirable point.

when this position is awumed, be projected as the cooperating plunger 28 has already moved into engagement-with the cam 30.

imovement of the die wheel will however permit the canend tomove down through the chute in unison with the. die. The second pair of centering arms 22 will next be projected by its cooperating plunger 28 as this moves into engagement with the cam, in this f manner engaging the opposite edge of the can end, thus positively gripping it and centering it with relation to the die and the annular groove. The can end positively gripped andcentered with relation to the die, continues its movement through the chute until the forked lever 39 engages the cam 40 and depresses the disc 15 with connected knock-out ring 17 Thiscauses the paper gasket to be ejected and forcedinto the annular groove 80 of the can end. A further movement of the die will bring the first plunger 28 to the point 32 where it leaves the cam 30. The interposed coil .sprmg will thus retract the plunger and connected centering arms 23 thus freeing one sideof the can end at the point where the curve chute- 51 connects with a discharging chute 64. l

The second pair of centering arms 22 are maintained in their raised position until the the cam, they thus act as pushers to push the can end out of the curved chute mto the discharging chute 64 which conveys the can cooperating plunger reaches the point 32 of i From the foregoing description it wilt be seenthat the paper gaskets are not only cut,

but that they are placed also in can ends he-' fore a complete revolution of an individual die has taken place. The centering arms provided are of great importance as they serve the function of centering the can ends with relation to the individual dies, and positively feed same until-the dischargm' point is reached; the gasket being e ects from the die and laced in the can end dur- "ing the passage 0 the can end'through'the catin parts are reduced to a minimum, it can readi ybe seen that wear and tear isreduced to a minimum.

The provision of the cam tracks 41 and 42 together with the adjusting cams 44, promechanism now employed. These irregular shaped gaskets are out just as easily as a circular gasket, and the eiliciency and general output of the machine will be the same in either direction. While four cutting dies are here shown asarranged upon the periphery of the die wheel, it is obvious that any numbermay be employed, and that the speed of rotation may be such as conditions and requirements may demand.

The cylindrical shaped platen 7 employed is not positively driven, but will be revolved by frictional engagement with the contacting dies and cam tracks. The dies proper are preferably made of a high grade steel, while the platen 7 is made of some softer material such as soft steel, brass, fibre, fabric, rubber, or the like.

The materials and finish of the several parts of the machine ma otherwise be such as the experience and ju gment of the manufaeturer may dictate.

I wish it understood that various changes in form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims, and that I do not wish to limit myself to the specific desi n or construction here shown.
